Podcasts about mental health crisis

   After HSI raided a pasta plant in KC and hauled off a bunch of illegal aliens for processing, the leftist media in KC has lost their mind.  Now, they have absolutely nothing to report that anything was done wrong or rules were broken.  And it was certainly a lawful order from a federal judge.  So they resort to writing sob stories about "dire" conditions and starvation.  This is just insane.     A new study confirms what we already knew, people in America that self describe as "very liberal" have been diagnosed with mental illness at an alarming rate.    Nathan Willett is running for Congress in northern Missouri and he's now facing complaints that he has broken campaign finance laws.    Clark Hunt had a really interesting moment at Arrowhead Stadium during a World Cup match recently. Ahmad Hardy has been medically cleared at Mizzou but we don't know when he may be able to play after being shot at a concert in May.  Bobby Witt Jr leaves the Royals walk off win in the 5th inning with a back problem.    SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is threatening his league may just break out on it's own and start its own college alliance.  Ryan Clark gets canned at ESPN during a commercial break and the largest pool in America opened this week.

In the most recent year with available data, roughly 1,000 construction workers died from workplace accidents. In the same year, approximately 5,000 died by suicide and 11,000 died from overdose. Construction workers are approximately 16 times more likely to die by suicide or overdose than from a conventional workplace injury. And the industry is not yet treating mental health with the same intensity it brings to fall prevention. On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, Bill McCamley, director of the New Mexico Building Trades Wellness Coalition, discusses the wellness coalition model he believes every building trades council in the country should adopt. He shares his own mental health story, explains why peer support from workers with lived experience is the most effective tool available for reaching workers before a crisis becomes fatal, and makes the case for why contractors have a direct financial interest in funding these programs.

What if we've been thinking about mental illness all wrong? Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer argues that conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia may be rooted in metabolic dysfunction, not just genetics or trauma. Drawing on decades of clinical research, he explains which chemical additives may be harming our brains, why ketogenic diets are showing remarkable promise for severe mental illness, and why recovery is about far more than willpower. Chris also opens up to Jay about the deeply personal story of his mother that inspired him to pursue psychiatry, and why, despite the growing mental health crisis, he remains genuinely hopeful for the next generation. In this episode you'll learn: How to Recognize the Connection Between Diet & Mental Health  How to Notice Warning Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction  How to Support Loved Ones Through a Mental Health Crisis   How to Become More Resilient with Self-Care   How to Turn Personal Pain Into Purpose  How to Use Fasting & Ketogenic Diets Safely  How to Talk to Kids About Nutrition & Brain Health  Healing rarely comes from one single fix. Instead it comes from understanding the whole person: body, brain, and everything we feed both. Sometimes the most radical form of self-love is simply asking what's going into your body, and why?  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty JAY'S DAILY WISDOM DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX Join 900,000+ readers discovering how small daily shifts create big life change with my free newsletter.

During this reflection, I share about recent article from Adam Grant who reviewed 35 year study on the impact of perfectionism on mental health which predated the digital age of social media. Though, I do believe social media and digital media have amplified the validation of perfection and think this is a good conversation about self judgment, fear of being judged by others and wanting to avoid making mistakes. Enjoy and share your thoughts!

A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. The Hidden Cost of Losing One of Your Own and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. A Deputy was Shot and Killed during A Car Stop. Those words instantly capture attention, but they rarely tell the entire story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The headlines focus on the fallen deputy. The criminal investigation follows. Eventually, the suspect is caught, prosecuted, and sentenced. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Then the news cameras leave. What often goes untold is what happens to the officers, supervisors, families, and entire law enforcement agency left behind. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. For retired Bernalillo County Sheriff's Lieutenant Van Eldridge, that painful reality became part of his life forever when one of his deputies, Deputy Sheriff James McGrane, was murdered during what appeared to be a routine traffic stop. Years later, Eldridge shares not only what happened that tragic night but also how the experience shaped his understanding of trauma, resilience, and the urgent need to improve mental health resources for first responders. His emotional conversation is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and most major podcast platforms worldwide. A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. When Routine Turns Deadly Every deputy begins a shift understanding that danger can appear without warning. Most traffic stops end with a warning, a citation, or an arrest. Occasionally, however, they become something far more devastating. Shortly after midnight on March 22, 2006, Deputy Sheriff James McGrane stopped a white pickup truck on Highway 337 in New Mexico. At approximately 12:46 a.m., he calmly radioed dispatch with the details of the stop. Nothing in his voice suggested anything unusual. Nothing indicated that within moments he would lose his life. Unknown to Deputy McGrane, the driver had allegedly been involved in an unsolved 2005 murder and was determined not to return to prison. As Deputy McGrane approached the driver's window, the suspect opened fire. The deputy was struck twice. He never had the opportunity to defend himself. Within minutes, nearby witnesses dialed 911 after hearing two gunshots echo through the quiet night and watching a white pickup speed away from the scene. A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Emergency responders rushed to help. There was nothing they could do. Deputy James McGrane died where he had stopped the vehicle. The Supervisor's Nightmare For Sergeant Van Eldridge, the phone call changed everything. One of his deputies had been murdered. Every law enforcement supervisor knows the possibility exists. No one is ever prepared for it to become reality. A supervisor's responsibility instantly shifts from overseeing patrol operations to managing unimaginable grief. There are deputies in shock. Family members who need answers. Investigators arriving. Media gathering. Community members searching for information. Officers struggling to process what has happened. Yet the supervisor is expected to remain calm, make sound decisions, and lead everyone through one of the darkest days in the agency's history. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Those moments become permanently etched into memory. Van explains that while people often remember the fallen officer, they seldom recognize the emotional burden carried by the partners and supervisors who must continue serving while grieving themselves. A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Justice Took Years The suspect fled following the murder. For weeks, investigators worked tirelessly to locate him. Eventually, authorities tracked him to Juarez, Mexico, where he was apprehended on April 3, 2006, and returned to the United States. The criminal case moved through the courts over several years. On June 4, 2010, the suspect was convicted of murdering Deputy McGrane, tampering with evidence, and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He received a prison sentence totaling 43½ years. Justice did not stop there. On August 4, 2012, the same individual was convicted of the unrelated 2005 homicide that investigators believe motivated him to kill Deputy McGrane during the traffic stop. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. He received an additional 28-year sentence, to begin after completing his first sentence. While the convictions provided accountability, they could never restore what had been taken. Remembering Deputy James McGrane Deputy McGrane had devoted his life to public service. Before joining the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department, he served with the New Mexico State Police and later with the United States Postal Inspection Service. A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. Listeners can hear the complete interview on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and other major Podcast, Radio, News, and Media platforms. He had accumulated more than a decade of law enforcement experience before joining the Sheriff's Office, where he served for three years. Friends and fellow deputies remember him as a dedicated professional committed to protecting his community. He left behind his wife, parents, sister, coworkers, and countless friends. His sacrifice serves as a sobering reminder that no traffic stop is ever truly routine. Trauma Doesn't End After the Funeral For many outside law enforcement, healing begins after the funeral. For first responders, that is often when the hardest part starts. Returning to the same patrol car. Driving the same roads. Answering the same radio calls. Making another traffic stop. Each event can trigger painful memories. Van Eldridge explains that traumatic incidents like the murder of Deputy McGrane leave lasting emotional impacts that extend far beyond the individual officers directly involved. Families carry the burden. Children notice changes. Marriages feel the strain. Entire agencies experience a shift in morale. Communities mourn alongside the officers sworn to protect them. These invisible injuries frequently become cumulative, building over years of responding to shootings, fatal crashes, child abuse cases, suicides, domestic violence calls, and line-of-duty deaths. The podcast is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major podcast platforms. Without proper support, many first responders struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, chronic stress, and burnout. A Deputy Was Shot and Killed During a Car Stop. He talks about this and the Mental Health Crisis in Law Enforcement. Changing the Conversation About Mental Health Rather than allowing tragedy to define him, Van Eldridge chose to become part of the solution. Today he serves as Director of The Sodality Foundation, a nonprofit charity dedicated to improving mental health support for New Mexico's first responders. The foundation was created after community leaders, mental health professionals, and public safety personnel recognized a troubling reality. Many first responders desperately needed help. Far too many couldn't afford it. Others feared seeking treatment because of the stigma surrounding mental health. The organization works to bridge those gaps by helping fund counseling, peer support programs, resilience training, education, wellness initiatives, and other resources that strengthen the emotional health of first responders. Its leadership includes professionals from public safety, nonprofit management, government affairs, healthcare, and business, all committed to ensuring that those who protect our communities receive the support they deserve. Supporting Those Who Protect Us First responders are often called heroes. Yet heroes are still human. They experience fear. They experience grief. They carry trauma. They need support just like everyone else. Organizations such as The Sodality Foundation remind us that investing in first responder wellness benefits everyone.

Episode 230 with Soledad Sanchez Canamares, Family Friendly Workplace Policy Specialist at UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa, where she works with businesses, governments, and development partners to advance workplace policies that improve employee wellbeing, talent retention, workforce productivity, and long term business performance.As organisations across Africa and around the world face growing talent shortages, rising employee turnover, and changing workforce expectations, family friendly workplace policies are increasingly being recognised as a competitive advantage rather than simply an employee benefit. In this episode, Soledad explains why policies such as paid parental leave, childcare support, flexible working arrangements, and breastfeeding accommodations are becoming critical tools for attracting and retaining talent, improving workforce participation, and strengthening organisational resilience.Drawing on global evidence, business case studies, and UNICEF's Family Friendly Policies Toolkit, Soledad explores the relationship between workforce wellbeing and business performance. She discusses how employers can improve employee retention, productivity, engagement, and gender equality while building stronger and more resilient organisations. The conversation also examines the economic impact of care responsibilities, the role of workplace flexibility in the future of work, and why supporting working parents is increasingly being viewed as a business growth strategy.The discussion focuses on the African context, where informality remains high and many businesses operate with limited resources.What We Discuss With SolededWhy businesses may be losing money by failing to invest in family friendly workplace policies.Whether Africa is leaving billions in economic growth untapped because workplaces are not designed around how people actually live and care for their families.The hidden link between talent shortages, employee turnover, and the lack of support for working parents and caregivers.What family friendly workplace policies look like in Africa's informal economy, SMEs, and labour intensive industries where traditional models often fall short.Why investors, multinational companies, and global supply chains are increasingly treating family friendly policies as a competitiveness and business resilience issue.Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss The Grandmothers Helping Solve Africa's Mental Health Crisis?

Islam is spreading across East Asia — and the rise of Muslims in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea could reshape the future of the Muslim world. As China becomes a global superpower and the West declines in influence, Muslim immigrants, converts, and native East Asian Muslims may become one of the most important religious communities in a Chinese-dominated world order.In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Imam Abdullah Cheng, a Taiwanese Muslim imam and computer scientist from a convert background, to explore the future of Islam in China, Taiwan, Japan, and East Asia. We discuss the history of Islam in China, the difference between Uyghur Muslims and Hui Muslims, Hui Muslim cuisine and culture, Islam in Taiwan, dawah in China, Korea, and Japan, and why more East Asians are becoming interested in Islam.We also explore the rise of Islam in Japan, Japan's masculinity crisis, declining birthrates, loneliness, mental health, marriage collapse, and how Islam offers answers to young men and women searching for meaning. From anime and Eastern storytelling to Islamic dawah, Muslim identity, Chinese atheism, communism, and the treatment of Muslims in China, this conversation reveals why East Asia may become one of the most important frontiers for Islam in the 21st century.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 What is Life Like For Muslims in Taiwan?05:02 The History of Islam in China08:20 Ad09:51 The Difference Between Uyghur and Hui Muslims12:42 Hui Muslim Cuisine and Culture21:35 The Future of Islam in China32:37 Muslims Becoming the Irish of China34:44 How Dawah is Done in China, Korea, and Japan37:24 Rise of Islam in Japan39:56 The Masculinity and Mental Health Crisis in Japan48:57 Why is Islam Rising Quickly in Japan vs Taiwan51:32 How Muslims Could Use The Power of Anime01:03:00 Ad01:03:30 What is Actually Happening to Muslims in China?01:09:54 Chinese Atheist Communists Worse than Western Powers?01:16:18 Final Thoughts#China #Japan #muslim #podcast #chinesemuslim #japanesemuslim #chinesefood #japaneseculture #islam #dawah *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

It's 3:14 AM. Eyes wide open. Heart already racing. And the spiral begins. If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to feel like someone finally said out loud what so many women have been quietly carrying alone. Chalene Johnson breaks down the seven overlapping forces that are quietly dismantling the mental health of midlife women right now. And no, it is not just hormones. It is not a character flaw. It is not a lack of discipline or a better morning routine. It is a load that would break the most resilient nervous system on the planet. From the brain chemistry chaos of perimenopause to the burnout of the sandwich generation, AI job anxiety to social media decision fatigue, Chalene connects the dots on why so many women over 40 are struggling with sleep, mental health, and a sense of identity they cannot quite name. She pulls from brand new 2025 and 2026 research and gets brutally honest about the story women have been sold that no longer holds up. Your nervous system is not broken. You are just carrying too much. If someone came to mind while listening, send this episode to her. She needs it. Are you in the sandwich generation right now, caring for both kids and aging parents?  

Towards the end of last year, Australia did something no other country had ever tried: it banned social media for kids under 16. And a bunch of others are following with similar laws, first Denmark, then France, then Indonesia and Austria. All in, there are now more than 25 countries that have either implemented, or are actively considering, social media bans for kids. It seems like Canada is moving there as well. In April, the Liberal party adopted a non-binding motion to restrict young people's access to both social media and AI chatbots. All over the world, you can hear parents breathing a sigh of relief. They've spent the last decade watching their kids become hooked on their devices, and now we're doing something about it. It looks like we're finally going to get our kids back. But researchers like Candice Odgers are skeptical. Odgers is a psychology professor at UC Irvine who's been studying the digital lives of young people for almost 20 years now, long before anyone was worried about what social media was doing to their brains. She says there isn't really any research to suggest these bans will work. But her argument goes even deeper than that: she says the idea that smartphones have caused a youth mental health crisis just isn't supported by the evidence. So as governments all over the world start to kick kids off social media, and maybe even AI chatbots as well, Candice Odgers thinks we're making a serious mistake. And I want to know if she's right.

We live in a time of unprecedented psychological understanding. We know about trauma, attachment, nervous systems, emotional regulation, and mental health more than any generation before us. ... and yet, something curious is happening. Despite all of this insight, many people are quietly struggling with a deep sense of disconnection from themselves, their relationships and from life itself. Of course, the world around us feels chaotic... Traditional meaning-structures are crumbling... Anxiety is rising... Loneliness is on the increase. But beneath the surface of outwardly-functioning lives, there's a question on the lips of many that's becoming harder to ignore: "Is this really it?" In this episode, we explore a different way of understanding what is happening beneath the surface of modern life. Because while we have become incredibly fluent in understanding what is "wrong" with us and the world at large, we have lost fluency in a more ancient question: :: "What is trying to emerge through us?" This conversation explores the idea that many of the experiences we label as burnout, confusion, emotional intensity, or dissatisfaction may in fact be signals. Signals that a life is beginning to outgrow the identity that has been carrying it. We also explore why so many people are unconsciously searching for meaning through new pathways such as spirituality, astrology, depth psychology, shadow work, and altered states of consciousness, and what this reveals about the deeper hunger of our time. At the heart of this episode is a simple but confronting possibility: What is often experienced as emotional or psychological disturbance may also reflect an underlying process of soul-emergence. When viewed through that lens, the focus subtly shifts from "healing what's wrong" to questions of "who am I becoming"? ...

What kind of man gets studied at Yale, Brown, and Harvard, builds a 300 person international research consortium, and still has powerful people working to erase his name? Dr. Daniel Ingram is not a guru. He is a retired level one trauma emergency physician. A published neuroscience researcher. The author of a book that has shaped contemplative practice for tens of thousands of readers. The acting organizer of a global research effort spanning Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cambridge, and Oxford. By every credential medicine respects, he is one of their own.So why did a senior figure allegedly commission an academic article engineered to surface at the top of every search of his name, with one stated goal? That nobody would ever believe him again. Because Dr. Ingram crossed a line his profession does not permit. He claimed that awakening is real. That it is measurable. That it is observable in the brain.  We go into what he has seen at the edges of human perception. What he documented in the lab. What he believes medicine is doing to patients every single day by refusing to look.The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium

What happens when a generation grows up more connected to screens than to the natural world? In this episode, Will sits down with outdoor educator and Wildward Institute founder Scott Shepherd to explore the growing disconnect between young people, nature, and one another. Drawing from more than 15 years of experience in outdoor, environmental, and experiential education, Scott explains why time outside is no longer just recreation—it has become an essential component of mental health, emotional regulation, resilience, and healthy youth development. Scott shares his own transformative journey sailing around the world as a teenager, discusses the challenges facing outdoor education today, and examines how screens, overprogrammed childhoods, and reduced opportunities for unstructured play are impacting young people. Together, Will and Scott explore the role of nature in supporting neurodiverse youth, building self-confidence, fostering environmental stewardship, and helping young people develop the skills they need to thrive in an uncertain future. This conversation is a powerful reminder that connecting youth to the outdoors may be one of the most important mental health interventions of our time. Here is the Wilderward Institute Website. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats and coaching for men and facilitated by Will White.

Dr. Leah Snodgrass joins host Dr. Mike Chupp for a conversation about the mental health crisis facing children and adolescents today. Rates of anxiety and depression among young people have doubled since the pandemic, yet access to care, especially in rural and underserved communities, remains critically out of reach. Dr. Snodgrass is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and Chair of Psychiatry at Lincoln Memorial University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, and she has spent her career on the front lines of this crisis. In this episode, she and Dr. Chupp dig into what it actually looks like to care for the next generation with clinical excellence, real compassion, and Christ at the center.

She's seen it all from behind the badge, and Sgt. Betsy Brantner-Smith is not mincing words. The National Police Association spokesperson joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to connect the dots between St. Louis's pool security crisis, the teen takeover epidemic sweeping the nation, and a generation of kids nobody taught to respect anyone's rights but their own. Then the conversation turns to the Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026, why your small-town police department is just as underfunded as Chicago's, and why Congresswoman Ann Wagner deserves credit for stepping up.

#382: Gracie Gold became a two-time U.S. national champion, a six-time Grand Prix medalist, and in 2014 she made history as the first American woman to win the NHK Trophy in the sport of figure skating. That same year, she stood on the 2014 Olympic podium in Sochi as part of Team USA in the team event and placed 4th in the individual event, close to a medal of her own. At her peak, she held the record for the highest short program score ever recorded by an American woman.But behind the sparkle and the scores, something was quietly unraveling. Gracie has been open about her struggles with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder: battles that were happening largely out of public view, even as she was competing at the highest level in the world. In 2017, she stepped away from the sport entirely to get help, one of the bravest decisions an athlete can make.What followed was a long, honest road back — not just to skating, but to herself. She's since become a vocal advocate for athletes in the mental health space, and recently released a memoir called Outofshapeworthlessloser — a title that tells you everything about where she's been and how far she's come. Today, Gracie isn't just a former champion. She's someone who has done the real work, and isn't afraid to talk about it.Content note: The topic of body image struggles and eating disorder are discussed in this episode.What you will learn:The reality behind preparing for the Olympics in figure skatingNavigating body image and an eating disorderHow Gracie handled mental toughness and pressure in competitionRemoving self-worth from achievementWhy it's better to listen to yourself, regardless of others' opinionsBeing OK with criticism, whether online or in your circleReceive weekly personal insights from Emily's email newsletter and subscribe hereWatch Full Episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatfulfillsyou/videosENJOY 10% OFF THE WHAT FULFILLS YOU?

Over the last decade, several inmates suffering from mental illnesses have died inside South Carolina jails. An investigation by the Post & Courier dove into the reasons why, how the situation got so bad, and possible solutions. Plus, in the wake of Iryna's Law, we'll see what lessons North Carolina can learn.

This episode felt personal—because it is.In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I sat down with Lauren Carson (Black Girls Smile) and April Walker (Philanthropy for the People), and we got real about what's actually happening right now—in our work, in our communities, and in our bodies.If I'm honest, it feels like a lot. And I know I'm not the only one.We talked about how the pressure out in the world—politics, funding cuts, constant uncertainty—is showing up in our mental health. Especially for Black women and girls, who are so often expected to just… keep going.And then there's the funding piece. The promises that didn't last. The lack of transparency. The constant hustle. It's exhausting—and it's impacting how we show up as leaders, as teammates, as humans.One thing that really stuck with me:We talk a lot about resilience as “pushing through,” but not enough about healing. And without healing, what are we actually sustaining?So here's what I'm taking with me this month:Rest isn't a reward—it's necessary (even in small moments between meetings)I don't have to do everything—just focus on what actually mattersMy inner voice matters—if I'm resting but still beating myself up, that's not restAnd honestly… sometimes the most powerful thing I can do is just breatheIf there's one thing I'd invite you to do this month, it's this:Tell yourself the truth about how you're actually doing—and give yourself a little more space to be human.We're all figuring this out. And you don't have to do it alone.Important Links:Black Girl Smile: https://www.blackgirlssmile.org/Stop Flying Blind: Fix Your Leaky Fundraising System: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/donorjourneyauditwebinar-2026⁠ My Big Ask Gifts Program:⁠ ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey:⁠ ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠⁠ My Newsletter:⁠ ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠⁠ My Quiz: ⁠https://bit.ly/4vDEBjl

Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple high-profile incidents of Black men committing acts of violence against their loved ones, from a man in Shreveport killing his children, to the former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia killing himself and his wife. On this episode, we're asking: What does this violence have to do with patriarchy? What does it have to do with mental health? What does it have to do with race and gender? And what would it take to create a culture that actually protects Black women and children?See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

It's easy to think of mental health as something happening only in the brain. But more and more, we're seeing how closely it's tied to what's going on in the gut. Today, I'm joined again by Dr. William Li, a New York Times bestselling author. We discuss his latest book, Eat to Beat Your Diet, and how food, inflammation, and microbiome shape the way we think and feel. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts - https://youtu.be/rY0OE-1blL0 In this conversation we discuss: • What if your anxiety or brain fog is actually a signal coming from your gut • Why gut health may be the missing piece in how we think about mental health • How everyday foods can either fuel inflammation or help calm your system • The compounds in real food that quietly support memory, mood, and mental clarity • Simple shifts that can help reset your system and support how you feel day to day Mental health isn't separate from the rest of the body. The more we understand that, the more it shifts where you look for answers. If you're looking for more support and community around this, the 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation and support your body using real food.

On this episode of Ask Christian Counseling Associates, we're joined by Rev. Brian Smith, a Missouri Synod Pastor and CCA partner in York, PA, to discuss “Church Wounds”—when church hurt becomes a mental health crisis.

In this episode of Voices of Student Success, Inside Higher Ed's podcast series exploring what really shapes students' experiences, Dr. Katie Hurley, vice president of community initiatives at The Jed Foundation (JED), joins IHE's student success reporter Joshua Bay. They discuss the state of student mental health on college campuses, including what's driving increased demand for support, how counseling centers are adapting under strain and why student experiences vary so widely across different contexts and identities. The conversation also examines where institutions are still falling short—and what a more comprehensive approach to campus mental health could look like.  Thank you to our partners at Strada for sponsoring this episode.

Today on the show, Erica sits down with Joanna Cheek, a Canadian psychiatrist, journalist, speaker, researcher, meditation teacher, and  psychotherapist trained in numerous styles of therapy. She is an award-winning teacher and associate professor at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. Joanna sees mental health struggles as symptoms of a world on fire, hoping to decrease the stigma that is too often misplaced on the individuals who suffer, rather than the ailing society around them. The two discuss her new book:  It's Not You, It's the World: A Mental Health Survival Guide for Us All. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How can the Church move from constantly referring people in pain elsewhere to becoming the first place people turn for healing? What would it look like to create spaces where everyday believers are equipped with the tools to step into the hurt of those they encounter?Social researcher Shaunti Feldhahn and psychologist Dr. James Sells recognized that the mental health crisis in our country was at an all-time high, and they wanted to understand how churches were responding to those who are hurting. As they dove deep into the research, they discovered a striking contrast: some churches were effectively equipping lay people to care for and minister to those in need, while many church leaders felt overwhelmed, unsure of where to even begin. Through their research, they identified key principles that helped churches succeed in caring for hurting people, which they captured in their book When Hurting People Come to Church: How People of Faith Can Help Solve the Mental Health Crisis.In this episode, Davey, Shaunti, and Dr. Sells discuss why it is critical for the Church to be on the frontlines of healing, how to cast a vision for the Church as a place of help and hope, and what it truly means to be present with people in their pain.If you are a church leader or part of a church community, this conversation will encourage you to take meaningful next steps toward building communities that bring hope and healing to those who need it most—and to see how this kind of care can become one of the most powerful ways to share the good news of the gospel with those around us.
